Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 208 Potter of Slytherin

Hogwarts Express, Albus and Rose walking along the train carriage.The sales witch came pushing a cart.

Sales Witch: "Honey, do you want something from the cart? Pumpkin Pie? Chocolate Frog? Cauldron Cake?"

"No, thank you." Rose thanked. "Albus? Albus!"

"Ah!?? I'm looking for Patrick!"

Rose (noticing Albus eyeing the Chocolate Frog greedily): "Al. We need to focus."

"Patrick! Patrick? Where are you?" Albus left Rose Granger Weasley.

"Here I am! Come in, Albus."

Albus opened the door of a box - and saw two boys - Scorpius and Patrick sitting in it, and there was no one else in the box except them.Albus smiled.Scorpius smiled back.Patrick scratched his slightly blond hair and introduced: "This is my brother Scorpius Malfoy." Then he said to Scorpius, "His name is Albus Potter, and he is also my brother, but the blood is farther away .”

"My grandpa's aunt is Patrick's great-grandmother. Mrs. Shafik." Abu thought for a while and said to Scorpius.

Scorpius: "Sit wherever you want. It's just me."

"Albus! Found you. Hello, Patrick," she said to Patrick.But Patrick didn't answer. "Who are you?"

"Hi, Scorpius. I mean, my name is Scorpius. Your name is Albus. My name is Scorpius. Then you must be..."

Rose's expression quickly turned cold. "Rose Weasley."

Scorpius: "Would you like some sizzling honey candies? I've got Spicy Rice Krispies, Pepper Cuddles, and some Jelly Slugs. It was Mom's idea - she said, (singing) "Candy always Helps you make friends". (He realizes singing was a mistake.) That might be a silly idea."

Albus: "Let me have some... Mum won't let me have candy. What's first? How about you Rose?"

Rose: "No, thank you." She was about to turn around and leave, but the door of the box was opened.The Gaunt siblings, Helena, stood at the door. "I've been looking for you two for a long time."

The sudden seating of seven people in the box seemed a bit crowded.

Rose suddenly wanted to reach out to get to know Helena, only to see the faces of a few people on the opposite side were cold.Rose seemed invisible.

"Albus, I think we should go."

"Why?" Rose hit Albus without Scorpius seeing.

Rose hit him again.

"Rose, please, can you stop hitting me?"

"I didn't hit you."

Aurora: "She hit you because of us."

"You are Albus Potter. She is Rose Granger-Weasley. He is Scorpius Malfoy. My mother and father are Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort. The parents of our family—were on bad terms."

"That's because your parents are big bad guys!"

Albus: "Rose!"

"Miss Rose Weasley, is this what your parents taught you?" Patrick felt a strong sense of hostility.

Rose watched them for a second, then left the box.

Albus: "Sorry!" After that, he turned and left.

"You can stay, Albus," Helena said.

"You are different from Rose. You can enter our circle of friends. We welcome you. We don't need people with hostile prejudices. Is that what her parents taught her?"

Albus: "That's right, Uncle Ron said that Slytherin is the house of snakes, the house of black magic... not the house that brave wizards should go to. He also said that every exam must surpass Scorpius. If you marry Grandpa Arthur will never forgive you for losing a pure blood...but my aunt doesn't think so."

"Do you think Slytherin is the birthplace of bad wizards?"

"No! I don't think so." Albus shook his head.

"Yes, Slytherin has many dark wizards, but we also have potions master Severus Snape and Professor Horace Slughorn. And our cousin, Silber Te Shafik," Alex said.

"It is not nature but choice that determines us."

"This is a famous quote from the former Headmaster Dumbledore."

A special professor appeared on the faculty seat of Hogwarts this year, Taoist Lingxu, who succeeded Head Slytherin as the professor of transfiguration.Lupine is Head of Gryffindor and Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.Hilbert sat next to Taoist Lingxu in the guest seat.

The freshmen stood in the front row led by Lupine.Waiting for sorting.

The Sorting Hat: "I've done this job for centuries,

Sit on top of each student's head for a while,
Take stock of their thoughts, because the famous Sorting Hat is here.

There is no distinction between high and low in my branch,

Fat and thin are treated the same,
So please put me on your head,

You'll know which academy to get into..."

Rose Granger-Weasley.

The sorting hat is on Rose's head.

"Another Weasley! Gryffindor!"

The Gryffindors burst into cheers, and Rose joined them.

Rose happily ran to Gryffindor's position to do a good job.

The Sorting Hat: "Scorpius Malfoy."

The Sorting Hat is on Scorpius' head.

Slytherin!

Scorpius had expected it a long time ago, and he nodded with a faint smile.The Slytherins erupted in cheers, and Scorpius joined them.

The master and apprentice breathed nervously and excitedly.

The Sorting Hat: "Albus Potter."

The Sorting Hat was on Albus's head - this time the Sorting Hat seemed to hesitate for a long time - seemed puzzled.

Slytherin!

The audience was silent.

Absolute, meaningful silence.It was quiet, dignified and oppressive, rotating slightly, hiding murderous intent.

"Okay!" Scorpius shouted, and Albus walked excitedly to Slytherin to sit down, and Patrick and others shook hands with him to express their congratulations.

Rose: "Albus? There must be a mistake, Albus. It shouldn't be like this."

A: "I don't think his hair looks so much like his father's."

B: "Slytherin?"

C: "Wow! The children of the Potter family are in Slytherin?"

Headmaster McGonagall stood up and announced: "This year's faculty changes are as follows. The head of Slytherin is no longer headed by Professor Slughorn, but the former vice headmaster of Hogwarts, the former professor of Chinese, and the former professor of transformation. He will not only continue to perform his duties as the dean, but will also serve as the professor of Hogwarts' Transfiguration class. Professor Bethel, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, has retired. The former Gryffindor Dean Lu Professor Ping is in charge. Now! The banquet begins."
